※The group of slanderous planes flying to Israel suddenly turned around in the eastern Mediterranean, and entered Turkey in the Gulf of Training, and then turned to fly eastward, heading straight for Diyarbakir. When he received this news, Pei Chengsang was not surprised. Just let the staff officer remind Yuan Chenhao to pay close attention to the movements of the US-Turkish coalition forces in the direction of Bianya Bakir and make preparations to meet the third reinforcement of the US army.

Du Qiwei's round of troop deployment did not meet Pei Chengyi's expectations.

With the 7th Infantry Division's "switching" to the northern battlefield, the battlefield situation is gradually becoming clear, and before taking targeted action, Pei Chengyi must consider another question, that is, whether to make a choice in the southern battlefield.

The dispatch of the 7th Infantry Division, which was originally planned to be sent to Israel, to Diyarbakir is enough to show that Duchway is beginning to pay attention to the huge holes on the northern front, as well as the high level of concern for Ankara. Although it is impossible to conclude whether Du Qisheng will take the initiative to attack on the northern front, it can be concluded from this adjustment that Du Qisheng will not carry out a larger offensive operation on the southern front until the northern front is stabilized.

That is, in the short term. Both sides put their main forces on the northern battlefield.

For Pei, this is a good thing.

With Du Qiwei focusing on the northern battlefield, with the support of 2 combat units, the southern front in charge of Su Jinhui will not encounter too many challenges. From Pei Chengyi's standpoint, there is no doubt that he hopes to have a decisive battle on the northern front. The reason is simple, the desert south of Damascus in Syria is too narrow for large corps to fight, and not even for too many troops to deploy, in the absence of a willingness to involve more countries. There isn't much room for movement; Although the southern region of Turkey has complex terrain and rugged mountain roads. It is not suitable for the activities of armored forces, but without relying on the ground offensive, the mountains and mountains of the Kurdistan region are instead an ideal battlefield for the republican **.

When a battle must be decided, it is necessary to let go of the troops.

After receiving the news that the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army had arrived in Diyarbakir. Pei Chengyi held an online video conference, which was attended by key generals, including two front-line commanders and six commanders of combat units, as well as generals of various services and arms who assisted in the operation. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

There was only one topic, namely, what Duchway intended to do in the north.

Because the participants knew Pei Chengyi's command style very well, and knew that he was holding a meeting at this time, he must be preparing for the decisive battle, so when discussing the problem, everyone left the opportunity to speak to Pei Chengyi, and even Yuan Chenhao and Su Jinhui mainly listened and rarely expressed their opinions.

Pei Chengsang also did not actively solicit the opinions of others.

After mentioning that the 7th Infantry was inferior to Diyarbakir, Pei Chengyi made an analysis of Du Qiwei's deployment.

In his opinion, the U.S. military sent the infantry division, which was best at fighting defensive warfare, to Diyarbakir not to relieve the 1st Fighter Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division besieged in Sirte, but to fill the huge gap between Diyarbakir and Gaziantep and stabilize the front line that was nearly 1,000 kilometers long. According to this analysis, after the 7th Infantry Division arrives at Qiyabakir, in addition to the main force to deploy defenses in the east and guard against the 10th combat unit, it will certainly divide nearly half of its combat units and station them in large and medium-sized cities and military towns such as Siverek, Mardin, Wilansehir, Shanl-ufar, Andyamán, Nizip, and Gaziantep, and set up a large-depth defense area with a width of about 1,000 kilometers and a depth of about 1,000 kilometers, covering the upper reaches of the two rivers south of the Taurus Mountains.

When Pei Chengyi mentioned this issue, almost all the generals thought that the victory was in their hands.

There is an annual defense area of about 60,000 square kilometers. The strength of the division is definitely not enough. Although the area south of the Taurus Mountains is relatively low and relatively flat, due to the influence of the Eurates and Tigris rivers, the area not only has crisscrossed rivers, but also several large reservoirs such as the Ataturk Reservoir and the Devegejidi Reservoir, and the area directly faces Syria and is the southernmost defended area in southern Turkey, so the transportation infrastructure is not reached. It is conservatively estimated that if the US military wants to hold this area, it needs to invest at least 3 to 4 divisions.

From this, it can be roughly estimated that even if the US Air Force's strategic transport fleet continues to make persistent efforts to transport other combat units to the same extent, it will take about a thug week to send the other two divisions over. Because the sortie rate of strategic transport aircraft is far inferior to that of tactical transport aircraft, and after high-intensity flights, they must be overhauled, so the US military can only be in one division at most, and it is a "light division" such as the first assault division In the US Army, infantry divisions and armored divisions are both heavy divisions, but the latter has one more armored brigade, and the former has one more infantry brigade. If you want to meet a division in the air, the U.S. military will at least spend a lot of energy. As a result, air freight is not as efficient as sea freight. From ports on the east coast of the continental United States, it took only four days for a fleet of fast transport ships to cross the North Atlantic to the Eastern Mediterranean, and to reach Turkish ports on the first day.

The Military Intelligence Agency also provided relevant information.

In addition to the Strategic Response Force of the Standard of the 1st Strategic Division, it is also a light force that is on standby at air bases on the continental United States. The other main forces, such as the Old Infantry Division and the Battalion Division, were expected to arrive at Iskenderun, Turkey, by the end of the day, and by sea, and surrender a heavy division by sea as soon as a week. If you include the Strategic Division or the 4th Assault Division, which will be delivered by air, the 2nd Panzer Division and the 4th Infantry Division, which will reach Iskenderun through the net, and the 7th Infantry Division, which will be arriving in Diyarbakir, will be able to commit the forces of the old divisions on the Turkish battlefield if Duchway wishes!

There is no doubt that this is a sufficiently strong force.

The question is, will the decisive battle drag on until a week later?

In the eyes of the staff officers attending the meeting, since Pei Chengyi held a meeting at this time to prepare for the decisive battle, he would not wait for the arrival of US reinforcements to start the decisive battle. The Army of the Republic has already committed 3 combat units on the front and is about to put into operation the 4th. Calculated according to the thugs and a half heavy divisions of the US Army. Within 2 to 4 days, the superiority in strength remained in the hands of the Republican Army. As long as the four combat units are used reasonably, not only can they annihilate the two American divisions in Siirt, but they can also defeat Diyarbakir, change the battlefield situation and even force Duchway to give up the idea of counterattacking and use reinforcements to build a new defensive line.

Out of this consideration, in addition to Yuan Chenhao, many generals, including Su Jinhui, believed that a decisive battle should be fought immediately.

If that were the case, Pei Chengyi would not have convened this meeting.

Obviously, Yuan Chenhao knows Pei Chengyi better.

At the beginning of the meeting, he had a hunch that the purpose of Pei Chengyi's meeting was not to unify the planning of the decisive battle, because there was no need for that. Only when Pei Chengyi was not satisfied with the annihilation of the three US divisions would he convene a meeting of everyone to discuss combat operations.

To put it bluntly, Pei Chengyi set his sights on the reinforcements of the US army.

Of course, for such a major matter, Pei Chengyi will not go straight to the point.

After briefing on the situation, Pei Chengyi first inquired about the operational situation on the southern front.

Because the 7th Infantry Division, which arrived first, went to Diyarbakir, the offensive of the US-Israeli coalition eased somewhat, and with the cooperation of the Syrian Army, Fu Weimin's 9th combat unit had stabilized the defensive line, and also moved several tactical counterattacks, achieving good results. Because the pressure on the defensive line was not very great, and there was no good opportunity for a large-scale counterattack, Su Jinhui did not let Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit enter the battle.

It seems to anticipate Pei Chengyi's idea of fighting on the battlefield on the southern front, and when Su Jinhui introduced the situation, he emphasized a special issue. That is, after the Dijiang Infantry Division was sent to Diyarbakir, Dayan would definitely protest, and Duchway would have to immediately send more troops to Israel if he wanted to appease Israel. That is, it is quite possible that Duchway will send the second batch of seaborne troops, that is, the 1st Thug Cavalry Division, to Israel. Since it is uncertain whether Duchway has shifted his focus to the north, it is not certain that the fighting in the south will not change.

In Su Jinhui's opinion. Even if Duchway intends to clean up Syria after winning on the northern front, he should combine the 1st thug infantry division with the 1st! Cavalry divisions were sent to Israel. The reason is very simple, the "Big Red First Division" is a well-known ace unit of the US army, and it is very good at fighting evil battles. If a decisive battle were to be fought on the northern front, Duchway would have to guard against problems in the south, and he would have to leave a force in the south that was good at defensive warfare; The 1st Cavalry Division is best at flanking assaults, that is, counterattacks in battles.

According to Su Jinhui's estimate. After the decisive battle on the northern front begins, the U.S. military will switch from offensive to defensive on the southern front, or leave enough defensive forces in the offensive. If the U.S. forces are successful in the north, Dooch will attack in advance in the south, allowing the 1st Fighter Cavalry Division to take the main force, even if it cannot reach Damascus in one go, it can still approach Damascus. If the U.S. military doesn't go well in the north, Duchway will use the first! The infantry division held the defensive line and used the 1st Cavalry Division to counterattack to contain the offensive of the Republican ** team, and buy time for the US-Israeli coalition to adjust its defensive deployment.

All in all, in Su Jinhui's view, Du Qiwei will not ignore the southern front. The new address of this site has been changed to:, please log in to read!

In fact, Pei Chengyi did not ignore the southern front.

After figuring out the situation, Pei Chengyi asked a very direct question, that is, after the decisive battle on the northern front began, can two combat units be used to attack and break through the defense line of the US-Israeli coalition forces? Although Pei Chengyi did not mention attacking the Golan Heights, the meaning was still expressed, and it was naturally better to be able to attack the Golan Heights.

It was only at this time that Su Jinhui understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

The other generals also reacted at this time.

Like Yuan Chenhao's guess, Pei Chengyi is not interested in the US troops who have already arrived at the battlefield, but the US troops who have not yet arrived at the battlefield.

In other words, Pei Chengyi intends to eat all the US troops in one go!

Suddenly, many generals admired Pei Chengyi's courage, and at the same time, they also shared the role of thugs.

The U.S. military can "cut the strength of the old divisions." Counting the Marine Corps, that is, the number of main divisions that have already mobilized several National Guard divisions, the total strength of the US ground forces is likely to exceed 10,000, while the Republic Army has mobilized 10,000 ground troops at most. Because it was necessary to leave several fighting armies alone to guard the large rear. Therefore, the Republic Army can only mobilize 2 more combat units, with a total strength of 10,000. Even according to the thugs. The calculation of the semi-US American division also did not ensure the superiority of troops.

What's more, the U.S. military can rely on the IDF.

In any case, the Israeli Army, especially several of its elite units, is not vegetarian, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not below that of the US army, and it is not even much worse than the Republic Army.

The republic is not so lucky, whether it is the Iranian Army or the Syrian Army, the combat effectiveness is very limited.

If you want to inflict heavy damage on your opponent when your strength is inferior to your opponent's, you have to rely on high command skills.

If it weren't for Pei Chengyi commanding this war, I'm afraid no general would have thought that the Republic would be able to win.

Of course, there are still many people who are skeptical.

When answering Pei Chengyi's question, Su Jinhui mentioned. If the United States does not increase its troops, and Israel does not mobilize all Israel for all-out war, young men and women will have to serve in the military. Even every adult citizen has a rifle, which can be armed with at least 10,000 combatants in the event of a full-scale war mobilization, and these people have received regular military training, and during the reserve period, military training is carried out for about 2 months a year. The combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the regular army, and the problem of counterattacking with 2 combat units is not great. If sufficient fire support can be obtained, there is even hope of hitting the Golan Heights. The problem is that as long as the United States sends more troops to Israel, or Israel mobilizes, even on a small scale, it will be very difficult to win a counterattack, and there is a risk that the defense line will be empty and eventually counterattacked by the adversary.

According to Su Jinhui, Israel is much more important than Turkey. Even if Dudgway intends to make a difference on the northern front, he will not abandon Israel, as long as the fighting on the southern front begins. Duchway will then adjust his deployment and quickly increase his troops to Israel.

In the end, Pei Chengyi also gave a clear answer, that is, to send additional thugs to support combat units on the southern front as soon as possible. More importantly, the counterattack operations on the southern front are mainly aimed at containing the US-Israeli coalition forces, especially the US forces, and the main task is not whether to return the Golan Heights or whether to recapture the areas occupied by the US-Israeli coalition forces. This time, Pei Chengyi made it very clear, that is, at the time of the decisive battle on the northern front. The southern front should play a key role in containing the enemy's forces and forcing the enemy to divide his forces. No matter how many additional U.S. troops Du Qiwei sends to Israel, Su Jinhui will hold out until after the decisive battle on the northern front is over.

Since Pei Chengyi explained his words, Su Jinhui was not ambiguous and raised a few questions. After receiving Pei Chengyi's one-by-one replies and assurances, Su Jinhui also made a guarantee, that is, with only 3 combat units, he would use resolute and decisive tactical counterattacks to contain the US-Israel coalition forces and provide help for the decisive battle on the northern front.

After getting rid of Su Jinhui, Pei Chengyi turned his focus to Yuan Chenhao. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

Because when discussing the combat operations on the southern front, Pei Chengyi had already explained the campaign intentions, so Yuan Chenhao did not bother to salivate and guaranteed that it would be on the basis of the existing troops. Annihilate the remnants of the American forces in Sirt as quickly as possible, and let the 10th Combat Unit advance westward, entangled the 7th Infantry Division that reached Diyarbakir and bid for a decisive battle. It was only in the later combat operations that Yuan Chenhao mentioned very directly that if he could not send additional troops to the northern front, he would have to let the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit get sufficient rest and recuperation during the campaign, that is, at least two combat units should be allowed to rest and fall. Of course, it would be nice to have an additional combat unit for the northern front.

Yuan Chenhao did not directly raise the troops, because he knew that Pei Chengyi did not have many reinforcements in his hands.

In any case, the last thug in the Thief Fighting Unit must stay in the central region and take up the important duties of the general reserve of the campaign.

With Yuan Chenhao's cooperation, Pei Chengyi also said the problem very directly.

The main task of the northern front is to annihilate the remnants of the two US divisions in Siirt as soon as possible, and if they cannot be annihilated quickly, the heavy task of encircling and annihilating the US army must be handed over to the Iranian army and the Iraqi army, which has already participated in the war. Because the Iranian army has already suffered heavy losses in previous battles, Pei Chengyi suggested using the Iraqi army as much as possible. The key is also to march westward, that is, to attack Diyarbakir. Although the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army is known for its stubborn defense. In the half-Ukrainian war, it caused a lot of trouble for the army of the republic, but Pei Chengyi's request was still very direct, that is, Diabakir could not be turned into a second Sirt, and this military town must be taken in one go, and the 7th Infantry Division must be annihilated.

In Ran Pei Chengyi's words, as long as Diyarbakir can be quickly captured, he can use strategic transport aircraft to transport combat troops and combat materials to the front line, thus completely changing the situation on the northern front.

Yuan Chenhao is not unaware of this truth, so he was very happy when he accepted the task.

Once you've finished deploying. Pei Chengyi only found out the purpose of his campaign.

This time, even Yuan Chenhao didn't expect that Pei Chengyi would actually plan to use this opportunity to attack Iskenderun!
